Mark

Mark is one of Newcastle’s most experienced Remedial and Sports Massage Therapists, practising since 2005 and known for his ability to combine clinical structure with intuitive, creative technique. His signature approach, an “Art vs Science” blend, brings together purposeful strokes, intelligent assessment, and treatment that feels both deeply skilled and deeply human.

Clients come to Mark wanting relief, clarity, and someone who can genuinely read the body. What they receive is elite-level remedial care shaped by years of treating complex musculoskeletal conditions across every demographic: office workers, tradies, kids, grandparents, professional athletes, and weekend warriors.

He is also trained in Myotherapy (Dry Needling), using targeted needling to release stubborn soft-tissue restrictions and support improved mobility. Mark’s particular areas of interest include shoulder and scapular mechanics, lateral fascial lines and functional movement patterns, and neck and cervical tension.

With more than a decade playing 1st Grade Football in the NBN State League and NEWFM 1st Division, Mark understands athletic conditioning from the inside out. His clinical background includes working with some of Australia’s top sporting organisations including the ARU Wallabies, Newcastle United Jets, Newcastle Knights, Brisbane Broncos, North Queensland Fury FC, and Australian Olympic Track & Field athletes.

This experience gives him a rare, elite-level understanding of performance, recovery, and the physical and mental demands placed on athletes week-to-week. Mark believes in a multi-disciplinary approach to health and collaborates with trusted complementary practitioners to ensure clients receive the most effective pathway to recovery.

Outside the clinic, Mark is a devoted family man with a creative streak — photography, graphic design, food, music, and the occasional acoustic guitar session all keep him busy. Mark is Aviano’s elite practitioner for clients who want results, depth, and a therapist who brings world-class experience into every treatment.
